Sky-high hero! A generous young man bought WiFi to watch the World Cup, leading the entire plane to cheer together.
It became a touching moment shared online when social media user Margarita Lafleur posted a clip of the 2026 World Cup round of 16 match between Argentina and Egypt. What made it extraordinary was that he wasn't watching on a TV at home or a restaurant like most people but live aboard a plane flying in the sky. This man bought WiFi specifically to cheer for the Argentina team.
She described the event: “On 7 July 2026, a Level Airlines flight to Barcelona departed Buenos Aires, Argentina, at 10:50 a.m. At 1:00 p.m., Argentina had a match against Egypt. We decided to buy WiFi to watch this game, and all 187 passengers joined in the excitement and cheered during one of the most thrilling matches of this World Cup. We never imagined we would experience something like this.”
After the clip was shared, many netizens commented, with some praising the airline's modern technology that ensures no one misses any important matches. Ultimately, Argentina won and secured a spot in the quarterfinals to face Switzerland on Sunday, 12 July at 8:00 a.m. Thai time.
